30 Thoughts From a 30-Day Vegan Challenge

July 28, 2017

We’ve always lived by a pretty simple rule: if it’s not fun, why do it? And usually, fun for us means putting ice cream in our coffee in the morning, spending the day cooking up new and exciting flavors, and ending the day with a big bowl of Half Baked.

But once in a while, we like to challenge ourselves. A challenge can still be fun, right? So recently, one of our employees embarked on a 30-day vegan challenge, vowing to eliminate all meat, dairy, and other animal products from their diet for a whole month.

So, off to the grocery store they went, stocking up on tofu, hummus, and plenty of Ben & Jerry’s Non-Dairy, ready to dive into a month of veganism.

It was a wild ride from start to finish, with these 30 thoughts dominating the month:

1. Start With Inspiration

You wouldn’t believe how many great vegan recipes are out there! The hardest part is deciding which ones to try and honing those cooking skills.

2. Don’t Fear the Tofu

It looks like a tasteless blob of boring, but trust us, there’s more to tofu than meets the eye. It’s a blank canvas ready for your creativity.

3. Hey, It’s Tempeh

Make friends with tofu’s cousin tempeh while you’re at it. You’ll be glad you did.
